Please see Teal's play-through video, as well as her review of the game in the video description:
Graphics were awesome, Battles were balanced and every single skill had meaning, loved the game. Plot could have been a little thicker but all is good.
Art was nice.
Do note you have some weird passability/layering issues. A lot of empty bushes have inconsistent passability rules. The mountain top side by the first star has passability issues.
Water bomb seems bugged or it might just be RNG.
Can't say I liked the combat. I felt it was too frequent and while a few fights might have been fine, I think there were just too many.
Fire magic to burn a log... in a forest?
At a certain point, I started to use the revival water as a healing item by sacrificing a character and then reviving them with the water.
I really enjoyed the art in this game. Combat was pretty dry though. Also, the sound levels were really wonky, and need some adjustment. You can see what I mean in this first impressions video I made: https://youtu.be/0uTkfmtYCr0?t=3398
(ps when I was compiling the video I realized that the riddle at the start has the hint for the star pillars - so that was nice, but maybe some later reminder would help).
I adore the graphic style, I think Kracy did a wonderful job and I envy their talent. So far this is the entry with the strongest "star" theme, and it's done really well. Map exploration has been exciting thanks to that fire magic & berry system. It also feels organic, like it makes sense. Battles are wonderfully done. I love that some skills work this well with eachother. I also commend you for that revival water idea - it's really neat that reviving an ally is a rare miracle in this universe, and not just an item you can buy at any shop like in so many games. This submission contains a lot of creative and well executed ideas, and I love it. I only wish it was longer, because I had a lot of fun. The one thing that stood out as "bad" to me, were dialogues. It's a little jarring to hear these beautiful rhymes at the beggining, and then the crow goes "I'm gonna chill over there!". Unless netflix is canon in this universe, it doesn't sound very authentic to me. Other than that, I had a blast with this game and I hope to see more titles of this quality from you in the future.
